Sherborne Girls
Sherborne Girls is proud to be one of the leading full-boarding girls’ schools for all-round personal development and academic fulfilment. We aim to send out into the world girls of character, commitment and compassion who think clearly and creatively, choose wisely and have the courage to make a difference.

Sherborne Girls is an independent day and boarding school for girls aged 11 to 18. Founded in 1899, it has been at the forefront of girls’ education in Britain for over 100 years.
We offer a setting where academic focus is combined with the space to enjoy musical, creative, sporting and artistic pursuits, providing a wonderfully broad and enriching education that develops the unique talents of every girl within a supportive environment.
Our close proximity and unique relationship with Sherborne School offers the best of both worlds, where the girls enjoy the benefits of single-sex education alongside a wealth of joint co-curricular opportunities and social normality.
With consistently outstanding results, excellent pastoral care and facilities which have been enhanced with a new £11m Arts Centre, parents can be assured that from the moment she joins us, their daughter is welcomed into a friendly, compassionate and caring full-boarding environment where her individual needs are nurtured and encouraged to ensure she fulfills her potential.
The school provides a rich environment for the development of well-educated, confident and caring young women who are committed to making significant and positive contributions to the world.
